Hello everyone....This is my first post on here and I am street rodding a '47 Chev sedan delivery and I am closing in on the interior. I am planning to do as much of the upholstery myself so I have been reading all of the books I can find on the subject and I've been watching all of the threads here concerning upholstery. I've gained a lot of knowledge and tips, but I still have a few questions. I have posted a picture of a headliner that I would like mine to be similar to. The way it looks to me, the center section is one piece and the slanted sections around the edge are installed separately making this a 5 piece headliner. What type of fastener would be used--Velcro or something else? I'm also wondering what type of fasteners would be used on the door panels and quarter panels. Thank you for any assistance.

hey whats up kind of new to hotrodders but anyway i have a "71 oldsmobile cutlass supreme & she is gutted out & i need to replace everything from metal but i read ur help wanted & read that u also did ur upholstery & read on how so my "?" to u is where did u get the literature too learn on how to do it. it would help please!!!!

I read the post from the Hamb on the headliner which was a great article. On my 39 chevy 2 door sedan I have the original headliner (multi-panels sewn together with wire bows). Is it possible to make a leather headliner to this pattern and have it work OK?
